The Rev Mr Hughes, now resid_

can get his wife out of the state, was
the pastor of the Brown Chapel A.

after a few questions told Mr Hugh_
es:
“24 Hours to Leave Town”
“Your record has been thoroughly
investigated and we have found that
you are not the type of citizen that
exactly fits into a community like
Selma and Dallas county, therefore
we have decided that 24 hours from
this minute, which is now 3.26 p m ,
are long enough for you to get your
business together and get out of
"town and Dallas county ”
Rev Hughes says he recogized the

Bruce C. Craig, Norman Standfiield,
chief of police, Hunt C. Frazier, se_

says he was offered $500 before this
occurrence to go to Washington and
urge an $8 wage for Negroes.
Hiaes m rsusnes
Mr Hughes did not leave at once,
however, delaying until two days lat_
er, August 26. That afternoon five
carloads of officers came to his
house and chased his car which was
just being driven away to be filled
with gasoline by a friend. When they
caught it and arrested the driver,
they doubled back to get Hughes,
who meantime had been warned by a
fellow pastor and taken away in the
car of his friend The two were
chased five or six miles out of Selma
at sixty miles an hour. Mr Hughes!
had his friend slow down to 25 miles
an hour in a cloud of dust and he
jumped from the car and rolled into
a ditch while the whirled by after the
car which had dropped him.
Mr Hughes lay in the ditch under
bushes until nightfall and made his
way on foot to another town where
he secured a ride to a large city.
Mr Hughes is a native of Pales

churches in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

ALABAMIANS DEMAND
LYNCHERS BE
PUNISHED
Prominent Citizens Call for
Vigorous Investigation
and Appeal for Public
Support
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Shocked
and humiliated by the recent lynch,
ing of two Negroes near Tuscaloosa,
outstanding Alabama women have
addressed to Governor B M Miller
an open letter calling upon him “to
exercise to the limit all constitution,
al authority in bringing to trial the
persons who committed this crime”
and pledging loyal support in all ef_
forts to that end Simultaneously a
number of prominent men — indus.
trialists, lawyers, ministers, and edu
cators — gave to the press a public
statement deploring the lynching,
commending the governor, the at.
torney general, and the judge for
their efforts to bring the guilty to
justice, and calling on all good citi.
zens to rally to their support
Branding the Tuscaloosa affair as
“an outrage” and as “ a matter of
profound humiliation to every law
abiding citizen of intelligence,” the
letter to the governor states that
“the only way r. which the shame of
this outrage can be blotted out is an
early and prompt apprehension of the
lawless mob that committed the
crime ” Mrs J H McCoy, a leader
in religious and educational circles,
heads the list of signers, which in.
eludes representatives of the guild,
the state federation of women’s clubs,
and the parent teacher association.
Among the signers are also two well
known Jewish women and one or
more social leaders.
The statement issued by the men
was signed by an equally influential j
group, and the two, it is believed, may j
be taken as fairly representative ofj
the attitude of the better informed I
people of Alabama The leading j
newspapers of the state are joining
vigorously in the general condemns,
tion of the recent lynchings and in
the demand that everything possible
be done to apprehend and punish the
lynchers. The attorney general of
the state is leading in the investiga.
tion and has publicly promised to do
all in his power to that end. The two
statements follow in full:
Open Letter to the Governor
"We, the undersigned women citi_

and order, committed by a masked
mob of unknown persons on the bor_
der of Jefferson County, i:i taking
from the hands of deputy sheriffs of
prisoners, shooting and killing two,
and seriously wounding the third.
“At the very time that our Presi_
dent and the Nation as a whole are
waging war against crime rampant,
for the majesty of the Law to be so
shamefully outraged within our be_
loved commonwealth is not only
shocking, but a matter of profound

Reports Wholesale Dismis
sals of Negroes Throughout
Country
By Cyril Briggs
(Editor in Chief Crusader News
Agency)
The cross erected by NRA for the |
working class of this country already ]
bears the mangled form of Negro |
labor, according to reports pouring in i
from every section of the country, of |
wholesale dismissals of Negro work_
ers and of the injection of the color
line into the code for the textile and
other industries.
Harlem workers are being excluded
from employment in the public works
and housing plans which the city is
supposed to launch sometime with
Federal aids. The code for the laun_
dry industry, which employs a major
ity of Negroes, is intended to main_
tain the low wages in that industry;
The socalled minimum wage is in
reality the maximums wage, and
means a further forcing down of the
standards of the whole working class,
black and white. Negro domestic
day workers are denied any benefits,
according to a letter by President
Roosevelt, which openly repudiated
the gesture of his mother in raising
the wages of her domestic help. In
that letter, broadcast by the boss
press, Roosevelt declared that the
NRA codes do not apply to domestic
help
The followig examples from other
part6 of the country clearly show
how the NRA is affecting Negro
workers:
In Memphis, Tennessee, the Tri_
State Manufacturing Company dis_
charged its colored workers on July
31r the day before the code went into
effect, and hired white in their places.
A Norfolk restaurant, obliged to
raise its minimum wage under the
code, dismissed its Negro helps and
employed whites The Norfolk pa_
pers report that colored porters,
janitors, elevator operators, mes_
sengers, drivers, etc , are being
ousted en masse Julian Harris, lib.
eral apologist for the Bourbon South,
admits that Negroes are being ousted
under the NRA: In an article in the
New York Times of last Sunday,
Harris states
One unfortunate phase of govern,
ment regulated wages is the injustice
it has worked on the Negro. It is
certain that already Negroes are be.
ing displaced by white persons in a
number of lines. The code for the
southern laundry industry permits a
differential (low) wage for Negro,
es.”
medical Needs of Negroes
CHICAGO—(CNA)—Charges that
the Commission on Cost of Medical
Care, set up by Hoover, had com.
pletely disregarded the needs of the
13,000,000 Negros in the United
States in their “investigation” were
made by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor
of the Journal of the American Medi_
cal Associaion and D J A. Kenney,
editor of the Journal of the National
Medical Associaion at a meeting here
of the National Medical Association.
The Commrason was composed of
48 members and workers for five
years and had nearly a million doL
lars at its disposal The net result of
its “investigation” was a compete i
whitewash of the vicious discrimina.j
tion in medical attention for the Ne_|
gro masses, often resulting in the
death of Negro patients refused em_
ergency aid by the white hospitals. |

Prisons and Prisoners
By Clifford C. Mitchell
An Echo from “Don’t Come to Chi.
cago!”
Some weeks ago I wrote> in this j
column, a release detailing why I ad.
vised paroled prisoners, generally
speaking, not to come Chicago. At
the time it was published a certain
paroled prisoner took me to task for
writing it, claiming that even if it
was the truth that it would hurt the
chances of others jyho might be able
to get to Chicago I did not argue
pedient for the moment, without
with him I knew the type Any ex.
thinking of the later result.
Today when I returned to my office'
I found this note awaiting me, “ . .
Have been trying to see you for
hours. Am at wits end and don’t know
which way to turn Must see you at
five sure . ”
There was no name attached to the
note nor did I recognize the hand,
writing but I waited for the party to
call and he did—the same fellow who
chided me for writing my earlier re.
lease And he was as perfect an ex.
ample of why paroled prisoners
should not come to Chicago as I ever
saw—or hope to see
At a glance you could tell that he
was either drunk, sick or starving, or
perhaps all three. His breath was
free from any sign of drink so I knew
at once what his trouble was He
was the last time I saw himj one of
the fortunate fellows who had a
mother and brother here who gave
him a home and provided for him,
etc.
I asked him about his mother and
found out that she was sick and his
brother who was, a few months ago,
working four days a week, is now
only working two days a week and
could hardly support himself and his
sick mother and so the other brother
—the paroled prisoner—was put out
of the home because they positively
could not take care of him Although,
as the paroled prisoner told me, he
had tramped the streets for work he
was not qualified for and today he
was nearly at the end of his rope,
sick, without food and without in
conveniencing his brother and sick
mother without even a place of shel.
ter
Naturally I did what I could for
him but at best the relief was only
temporary .Next weekt next month,
and next winter, he is going to have
to face the same problem only in a
more acute manner. He has no
qualifications that would make him
particularly useful to any one else
and such ordinary common labor
that he can perform it is possible to
secure thousands of others to do the
same thing
And his is not an isolated case
Still I am besieged by readers and
personal requests for me to try and
get other loved ones here to Chi_
cago Right no on my desk is an un_
answered letter from a mother down
in Tennessee who not only tells me
<*f all her own troubles and difficul.
ties under which she is existing but
she tells me of her son who is right
here in Joliet and who can be re_
leased {he very day that a job is
provided for him The little mother

LOOKING BACK
Indulging Girls
By Videtta Ish
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
“That child is so lazy, I believe she
was born lazy!” Often such an ex
pression has been made by mothers in
regard to their own children. And
very often it is true that the child
was made lazy by idulgence. Who has
not heard, “I’ll do the dishes, Honey;
you got to get your lessons.” Of
course, the girl must get her lessons
but she should o some of the home
work, too. This is a part of her educa
tion.
“When I was cornin’ up” girls and
boys had specified tasks. We had our
work to do either before w got our
lessons or after, but we had it to do.
The indulgence of today has made
heavier the burden of parents and en
couraged indolence in children.
UTILITY RATES AND COST OF
LIVING
When George B Cortelyou, Presi
dent of the Consoldated Gas Company
of New York, recently said that utili
ty rates had not gone down with the
cost of living because they had never
risen with it, he was simply stating
what everyone conversant with the
gas and electric industries knows.
From 1913 to 1928 the cost of living
curve followed a sharp ascending
course. Practically everything we
bought—clothes, food, furniture, rent,
amusements — increased in price by
50, 100, 200 per cent. Electric rates
were in direct opposition to the trend.
They went down, with never a rise—
each year saw better and cheaper
service than we had enjoyed before, i
And this was accomplished inspite of i
heavy increases in the cost of things j
the utility had to buy—labor, supplies i
and so on The electrical engineers '
gradually discovered how to make and
distribute power more efficiently and
economically, and rate reductions
were the result. ;

Then the crash came and the cost
of living curve reversed its direction.
It went rapidly downward. Utility
rates were unable to follow — even
though there was a small average
reduction—simply because the gen
eral cost of living has little influence
on utility costs The utilites must
provide the same standards of serv
ice in bad times as in good—through
regulation they are not allowed to
accumulate great profits during
booms to compensate for depression—

turnover of any major business. Even
